Space Hulk Gets New Co-Op Mode And Five Mission DLC

Good news for fans of Full Control’s Space Hulk; the Danish development studio has announced today that the title now has co-op mode.

In addition to the new game mode, the latest free patch contains a number of bug fixes and updates. It coincides with the release of a new campaign for the game - “Harbinger of Torment”...

Thomas Hentschel Lund, CEO of Full Control, spoke of the studios excitement regarding the game’s new co-op mode. “It’s been in development for several months now, as we made a complete overhaul of the multiplayer mode to make it a seamless experience so players can easily jump into a co-op game. In honor of launching co-op we are also releasing a new five-mission campaign, ‘Harbinger of Torment’, that is now available to Windows, Mac and Linux players”.

The Harbinger of Torment DLC is designed to tie in with the new cooperative mode, and is specifically designed for 4 player co-op on PC, Mac and Linux. Full Control said the following about the new mission. “As the Space Hulk, the Harbinger of Torment, emerged from the warp it was discovered to be on a collision course with the planet Baal. Several attempts were made to change course, but all failed. A team of the Imperium’s finest warriors is sent to the Harbinger of Torment to try and reverse the engines or stop them altogether. Failure is not an option.”

The Harbinger of Torment campaign contains five missions based on Games Workshop's original Space Hulk story arc, and will be available for $4.99/€4.99/£3.99.

Space Hulk originally hit PC back in 2013. Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe and based on the best-selling board game of the same name, Space Hulk is a 3D turn based strategy set in a lost and ancient space vessel infested with predatory alien Genestealers.
